confectioner who has a store in town, was
crossing the track at Sellick's Cut, half q
mile below the depot, this evening his vehicle

GEO. z. WALKER, Manager Western Moxis
Nerve Food Co., 33 N. State St., City.
Dear Sir:-Yours of yesterday, asking
whether I considered Choke" food or a
medicine, is at hand I am surprised that
you or anyone at all familiar with "Moxie"
medicine in any sense of the word any more
than lemonade, cider, beer, wine, etc.; in
fact, 1t does not come as near being medi-
cine as these[ should class it with milk.
Our seventeen months old baby drinks it as
he would milk, ad libitu1n, and we have
failed to discover any reaction whatever,
which would follow were it a medicine. Ali
medicines, of whatever nature, react, and
cannot be taken ad hbitum continuously,
and drank as popular beverage as Moxie is.
Foods strengthen, but do not stimulate nor
react The same is true OF Moxie Nerve
Food. Respectfully,

HE WAS A SOCIALIST.

There has as yet been nothing heard or seen
of Alex Nylen, the defaulting Bridgeport
postohice money order clerk. At the time
he left the city he had in his possession two
tickets on Thingvalla line of Norwegian
steamers. One was an outward ticket and
the other prepaid ticket They were from
the steamship agency of s. Maurice Laurid-
sen of Bridgeport, who had intrusted Nylen
with tickets to sell. Yesterday Mr.. Laurid-
sen telegraphed to the New York agency of
Nylen's defalcation and ordered the tickets
cancelled. Mr. Lauridsen says this was the
extent of his defalcation in connection with
his agency. NyIen, it is learned, was an
avowed Socialist of the worst kind. He did
not believe in the marriage laws of this coun-
try and had long defied them.
